In the Mood for Love [Faa yeung nin wa] **** (2000, Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Ping Lam Siu, Rebecca Pan) – Classic Movie Review 1915

Tony Leung (Tony Chiu-Wai Leung) stars in In the Mood for Love [Faa yeung nin wa] (2000) as a married newspaper editor, and Maggie Cheung plays a secretary who are drawn together after they both find their spouses are having affairs, in this heart-tugging, exquisitely made fifth movie from cult director Wong Kar-Wei (Kar Wai Wong). It is set in Hong Kong in 1962.

They are neighbours in a crowded building, who, as their friendship grows, find they have everything in common from noodle shops to martial arts, but agree to keep their bond platonic so as not to be like their unfaithful partners.

Released in 2000, the glorious looking In the Mood for Love is quite a little art object, with the passionate but repressed performances, inspired direction and marvellous cinematography by Christopher Doyle.
